Jihlava and Vysočina Region

Jihlava is an ancient town in the heart of the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands, 550 metres above sea level, about 130 km south-east of Prague. Jihlava, founded more than 800 years ago, boasts a long and colourful history. Being the administrative, industrial, commercial and cultural centre of the Vysočina Region, it is home to more than 50 000 inhabitants.

The Vysočina Region is renowned as “an island of health”, far from busy life of city centres; well-known for its hills and valleys, its wealth of woods and groves, streams and ponds. Here you will find dozens of protected landscapes, hundreds of protected areas and natural monuments. It is a perfect place for outdoor activities and recreation.
